priapus comments on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique

insanely hostile response to something like this. they attempted to have these parts replaceable, AMD physically couldn't do it. they've still made it as repairable as possible, and will without a doubt be more repairable than similar devices using this chipset. fucking relax, being reactionary without being informed is dumb.

It's a desktop, they're repairable unless you solder something in.

using this chipset

They could've gone with any other chipset, making the whole thing irrelevant to begin with, but they couldn't please the AI crowd that way.

By similar devices I obviously mean ITX PCs with similar chipsets. The average PC isn't giving you 128GB of VRAM for $2k.

Local AI is a difficult thing to do right now, making a product to allow people to use AI without giving up their privacy is great.

We need to stop bending over backwards to lower our standards for the people making money off of us.

Have higher standards.

Don't be a useful idiot.

You need to get a grip. Framework is a private company that has done very well by its customers and supporters so far. Stop being so fucking negative.
